Vero Edgecam 2018 R2 SU8 (Build 40570)

Edgecam is a market leading computer aided manufacturing (CAM) system for NC part programming. With unparalleled ease of use and sophisticated toolpath generation, it's the only CAM system you'll need for milling, turning and mill-turn machining. Edgecam utilises your in house knowledge and experience to drive the CAM process with automation tools to suit different applications - allowing you to maintain your competitive edge.

Rough Turn Cycle - Collision CheckAutomatic collision detection has been added to the Rough Turning Cycle. Prior to this enhancement, a user would manually apply profile extensions to avoid collisions. As the user no longer has to intervene, time will be saved in initially creating the CAM instructions. Moreover, strategy manager authors may now use this new function produce safer toolpaths.

Unnecessary Regenerations ReductionA major enhancement is the removal of unnecessary CAM regeneration. Specifically, when a user makes an edit to an existing command, Edgecam will not automatically regenerate the remainder of the instructions. When editing a tool command, users will notice that there is zero regeneration if the alteration doesn't affect the corresponding cycles e.g. coolant, high-speed condition

Profiling Cycle - Spring Passes and Arc Feedrate AdjustmentProfiling cycle offers new 'Spring Cuts' command where the user can add extra cuts if required to improve accuracy. This is particularly useful on materials where elasticity is an issue.Cycle time calculation has been improved through the new 'Adjust Feedrate on Arcs' command. The function will lead to both correct code and a more accurate cycle time calculation.

JT Open Files - Enhanced DatumEdgecam 2018 R1 reacts to the growing popularity of a new, lightweight 3D model format by introducing support for JT Open file. Datum identification has become easier by way of different display markers. Users can now comprehensively edit a manually created milling feature. Formerly when extra edges were required, the feature had to be re-created.

Deep Hole Drilling CycleEdgecam 2018 R1 provides support for 'Deep Hole Drilling' - also known as 'Gun Drilling'. When activated the new 'Deep Hole' strategy will empower the user to control entry, exit and intermediate drilling conditions.This technique is particularly important where specialised 'Gun Drilling' tools are used and the process requires accurate and precise code output.
